The Homestead
Programmes for Street Children

"Deep within that angry, dirty, glue-sniffing street child is a teacher, businessman, father, husband, a success story, waiting to be set free"

What is Homestead?

At the Homestead we chip away at all the dirt, pain and anger that defines the chronically neglected street child we work with, until eventually, the sculpture within, the beautiful unique child is revealed, healed, educated, developed and given an empowered future away from the street.

Programmes

The Homestead has a number of different programmes that together provide a comprehensive response to the plight of children living, working and begging on the street.
